I came to Jesus I took my Stand But what I'd surrendered Was back in my hands Defeated by failures Haunted by fears I cried out in anguish "My God, are you here?"
Chorus He said child you're forgiven Forgiven and free He said it, I heard it Sweet victory The future can never Intimidate me Since I've been forgiven Forgiven and free
I'm resting and growing In His strong embrace I've traded performance For amazing grace My soul is at rest Oh, but I still must rejoice When I think of the day That I heard His voice
What a relief Because I can't earn my way When I come up empty My father pays I'm learning to live And I'm learning to die And one of these days I'll be larning to fly
